Becoming a Carbon Neutral Park

Golden Gate is making an effort along with other parks in the Pacific West Region to achieve carbon neutral park operations by 2016, the centennial of the National Park Service.

A carbon neutral park would generate no greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations, those of its partners and concessionaires, and eventually its visitors. Achieving this goal requires a major rethinking of park operations, as well as the advancement of new technologies.
